Rhymes with “grouchy”

#222: alter ego

okay okay, enough with the pink petals and rain loving. you knew a moment of pure frustration and hatred was bound to arrive. this afternoon i am self-medicating a serious case of PMS with gin.

here is a list of things that normally don’t bother me, but may actually cause me to go postal and blow up the nearest cherry tree. in no particular order:

1) not having any money
i’m going to be in med school for the next few years and will be paying off loans for many years after that. i’ve definitely resigned myself to an indefinitely tight budget. but sometimes it just sucks.

2) dog hair
drives me crazy when it’s wet and stinky and clinging fanatically to every piece of black clothing i own.

3) the pile of stuff flowing out of the storage closet
it’s not my stuff and i don’t really care. unless i have to go near it. the broom is over there… so are my shoes… no cleaning or going outside for the rest of the day.

4) television
i haven’t been able to read more than a paragraph at a time today, so i’m sitting in front of two screens at once right now: the huge plasma and the tiny ibook. it’s only been a few minutes, but most programming and commercials have me doubting the sanity of our human race. i can’t wait for American Idol to start.

5) traffic outside the front window
it’s impossible to watch the aforementioned television at a normal volume with the patio door open even a crack. and don’t get me started on car alarms. instead of blowing up the cherry tree, you can submit this entry as evidence if you see a crazy woman running down main street smashing in car windows with a dog brush.

Jonathan is working late tonight. he should really take his time to ensure i’m properly medicated by the time he gets home.

    Heh – your saccarine sweetness in the past few posts was certainly getting on *my* nerves, so I’m glad something’s finally getting on yours – only because a grumpfest makes life that much better when it’s over!

    oh shut up. :))

    and saccharin is artificial, so your comment is even more insulting. ;)

    I’ll join you for a gin next time you’re in the mood…or coffee, or a photowalk…whatever floats your boat :) I’m cheap & sick of TV too!

    MEL! yes!

    another thing annoying about today: i ran out of phone minutes and the rogers site has been down so i can’t top up again.

    drop me an email! plans on friday, but tomorrow would work. or monday!

    I can’t wait for AI to start either…my future husband (that’s Josh Groban, for those that aren’t in the know) will be on it tonight. ;-) Ooops, have to run…Markus just saw this comment! *lol*
